THE LIBERALS THINK TOO MANY CONCESSIONS HAVE
BEEN MADE

A cablegram from Berlin, March 20, says: Al
though 1t is nearly certain that the unterhaus
VIII pass the ecclesiastical bill without altering
the main provisions as approved by the Oberhaus,
It Is also certain that the debate will disclose
great discomfort among the national liberals over
the extent Of the concessions. Many cOnserva-
tiveS equally dissatisfied, although they refrain
from open opposition. Herr Struckmann, a ma
tional liberal, gave expression TO the feelings OF
his party toward the close OF the debate in declar
ing that he had no confidence in the pacific dis
position OF the bishops, that the too many conces-
Sions already made to the Catholic Church would
fail to effect complete Cancellation, and that
once beginning to make concessions 1t would be
found necessary. for the sake OF peace TO concede
whatever should be demanded. The liberal press
deplore the bill TeactiOnary step that adds
greater strength to the papal power within and
without Germany.
Mgr. Galemberti, the special papal delegate to
Berlin, has telegraphed 10 the pope that he has
obtained from Prince Bismarck al the religious
concessions asked by the vatican, but has not OBJ
tatned any political concession. The leaders OF
The center (Cathoic) party maintain great reserve
toward Mgr. Galemberti.

THE GIRL IN THE sEAIsKIN sACQCE.
OH the girl in the sealskin sacque Is lair,
She's vision that charms the eye,
With her ripe red lips and her golden hair,
And teeth like the pearls that lie
In the coral caves of the ocean, where
The mermaid dresses her golden hair
And chants the dirge of the seamen brave
Whose bark has sunk meath the foami ng wave.
IL
THE SUMNER GIRL.
Oh: the summer girl with her golden hair
And her robe of snowy lawn.
And her blushing cheek is a vision as fair,
As the summer mornings dawn.
Her cheeks are the blushing skies SUM- kissed,
Her dress is the mornings feecy mist,
Her eyes are the oceans fathomless blue,
And her lips are the rosebuds fresh with dew,
Ill
THE EASTER BRIDE
But the robes of the maidens mentioned pale
Into the nothinxness beside
The lilac silk and the Brussels veil
Of the blushng Easter bride;
And their charms eclipsed as the bride appears
Like an April day, in smiles and tears
At the altar. and there with the BRIDEGROOM stands
Till the kind old pastor has Joined their hands.

The Hyacinth Trade.


The hyacinth trade is an important branch OF
horticultural commerce. For at least 800 years il
has been cultivated, and as early as 1897 Gerard
mentions six varieties as grown In England. Less
than a century later the six had multiplied into
many single and double forms, and In the middle
OF last century the famous Dutch growers OF this

The Last of a Bad Gang.

Late on ednesday Deputy Marshal

field saying that lac had arrested Sterling,
and should at once start for Danforth

mon says that this STERLING is the last
prominent member of old man Rogers

dicted by the [ S. Grand Jury, and we
have been trying ever since to capture
him First and last, the old man Rogers
and his gang have been accursed of al
most every crime, but were finally run
down for a little operation in horses.
The collector of customs at Fort Fair
field seized a pair Of horses for non-pay-
ment of duties and put them into stable
at Caribou. They were spirited away by

Organizing For Protection.

The protectonsts of New England have now
no organization of a general character to which
they can all belong and have their principles adj
yocated and agtated. 1t is proposed to remedy
this 1t is believed that the times demand
powerful organization of protectionists to pre-
vent the home market being captured by for
eign manufacturers through their agents and
AUTHORIZATIONS. The surplus OF the United
States treasury is to be reduced, and the tariff
under which that sur lus is produced is to be
assaied. The tariff is to be changed. The pro-
tcctionNts propose to organize merely to see that
whatever changes are made are not prejndical to
the home market being retained for home manu-
facturers, home capital, home enterprise and
home labor.
In April last the Home Market Club was
formed III Boston, but since then nothing has
been done, owing to the sudden death OF Mr.
George Drai G. who ndcd the organization.
Within two weeks it has been decided to push
this club and make it the rallying ground for
all protectionists of New England
Within two weeks great many applications
for membership have been received, among
them being Senator lloar and many of the lead
ing protcctionists in Massachusetts The club
knows no politics but protection, and all pro
tcctionists, whether republicans democrats,
whether eXtreame or moderate, are welcomed
into our ranks.

Resolutions of Respect,

At "a meeting of Russell Post held on
the It'll of October, the following resolu-
tionS were unanimously adopted by a ris-
ing vote:
Whereas, 1t has seemed best in the wis
dom of the Heavenly Father to remove
from the earthly home and duties our
highly esteemed and honorcd comrade,
Junior Vice Commander, Henry l.. Bray,
thus taking from us faithful and cfll-
cient officer. Therefore,
ReSoircd: That we tender to the be-
reaycd family our deep and earnest sym
pathy, assuring them that while we
mourn with them over the earthly loss,
we also share with them in the glorious
promise that we shall meet him again in
the great home above.
RcSolr,d That the usual emblems of
sorrow be placed in our Grand Army
Hall and that these resolutions be spread
upon the records of the Post and Il copy
be scnt to the family, and that they be
published in the SOMERSET REroRRER.

Seward Mitchell.

Mr. Seward Mitchell, of Palmyra,
whose clio hing took fire by some accident
in the middle of the night, is not expected
to survive the injuries received
Mr. Mitchell has been a number of
years exceedingly eccentric in his relg-
ious and social views. At one time he
was worth a good property, but it being
contrary to his idea, to take security i'll
dealing with his neighbors, he sold his
farm To a man who paid but little cash,
and gave his word that he would pay the
balance; the result was that he was cheat
ed out of the bulk or his property, He
claims that the only proper way to run a
store is to have it stocked with all sorts
of goods. necessary to the comfort of the
community, have it open to all, so that
anybody can 70 in, take what they want,
and Ii exchange leave what they think
would be fair exchange.
Mr.. Mitchell has Il wife and three chill
dren living. One son is prominent ply
stefan in Iowa; another is at the head of
"A large mercantile house in a western city
while his daughter, who is with him now,
is the wife of prominent lawyer in
Washington, ID. c. Mr. Mitchell himself
lived in Washington six years with his
Youngest daughter who died. During the
past six years he has lived near Newport,
and has proved good neighbor and all
who have had dealings with him testify
to his strict honesty.

The modus operandi Of manipulating
the kalian likewise comes in for slight
modification here. The ordinary Persian
method before handing the water pipe to
another, is to lift Off the top while taking
the last pull and thus empty the water
chamber Of smoke. The Tabbasitcs &C
complish the same end by raising the top
and blowing down the stem. This mighty
difference in the manner of clearing the
water chamber of hubble bubble will
no doubt impress the minds OF intellectual
Occideutals as remarkably important
and valuable piece of information. Not
less interesting and remarkable will like
wise seem the fact that the flour frescoed
proprietors Of these queer little Iaboas
grist mills are nothing less than the bound
arv mark between that portion OF the
water pipe smoking world which blows
the remaining smoke out and that portion
which inhales it, The Afghan, the Indian
and the Chinaman adopt the former me-
thod; the Turk, the Persian and the Arab
